Upgraded to WordPress 3.1 at HostMonster
This morning I noticed that a significant new upgrade had been made to WordPress to bring it up to version 3.1 - so I had to go to HostMonster and upgrade my installs. Since my last upgrade, SimpleScripts has adopted the "update all at once" idea for multiple installs of the same piece of software. I haven't had any problems with SimpleScripts to date, but I didn't want to start this morning. Still... I knew they made backups, so I went ahead and upgraded them all at once.
Worked out just fine.
The new WordPress has a menu bar at the top of the page when you're logged into the site. It's not bad, but it's not the same style as the blog, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the artists get things going and make that, too, in-sync with the theme of the site.
I spent a few minutes looking over the new features - some are nice, others have a few bugs in them, but I'm sure will get worked out with the release. In all, it's a nice improvement, and while I really just use this for my journal, it's nice to know it's got the room and capabilities to be much more.
